    Monozukuri and the Jazz of Innovation: Navigating the Agentic Era with Ludovico Diaz

    In this episode of Horizon Voices, recorded at the NTT DATA Horizon's Innovation Summit 2026 in Milan, we sit down with Ludovico Diaz, CEO of NTT DATA Italy. With over two decades of experience in the ICT sector, Ludovico discusses why Italy is no longer just a "referee" in the global tech landscape but a key "player on the pitch" driving research and development. The conversation explores a profound shift in our relationship with technology: the transition from viewing it as a tool for ROI to managing it as an autonomous actor that requires ethical containment. Ludovico explains how the Japanese concept of Monozukuri—building with a deep responsibility toward the future—serves as the foundational DNA for NTT DATA’s approach to responsible innovation.

    The Sustainability Loop: Scaling Value and Innovation with David Costa

    In this episode of Horizon Voices, recorded at the NTT DATA Horizon's Innovation Summit 2026, we are joined by David Costa, Chief Sustainability Officer at NTT DATA. With over three decades of experience at the intersection of business and technology, David dismantles the myth that AI and sustainability are at odds, arguing instead that they form a "reinforcing loop" where AI provides the scale necessary for sustainability, and sustainability ensures the long-term viability of AI. The conversation highlights a major turning point in the industry: the move from sustainability as a "compliance-driven" cost to a structural driver of business value and ROI. David details how modern organizations must move beyond disconnected CSR departments to a model where sustainability is embedded in every function, comparing the role of the CSO today to the Chief Quality Officers of the 1980s.
